"u have 277 frnds...did u knew everyone b4 frndship? everythin has a first time...thot abt sendin u a frndship request...on a second thought..desisted myself"......
Okay...I didnt get that...but a friend of mine did....and I just happened to see that one...first reaction...roll in laughter...and slowly progress to disgust....
Well...i know that in a way i'm being prejudiced...but i cant help it...people with really bad grammar turn me off!..call me mean...i dont care..
hell, they could be really nice people, but my first impression of this seems to last beyond the nice-bit...in my head, bad english = bad person whose head i need to rip off....
Funny though..this community i found on orkut titled, i hate people with bad grammar....well so there ARE people like me then...its definately worth joining..check it out...

School was bearable....hell, people in my school KNEW english well....but college?...argh!..the first week there and i could count the number of people who are worthy of acknowledging...(actually thats bit of a stretch,..make it more like people who i know could understand what i said)..
How frustrating would it be to be stared at with blank expressions when u walk up to a bunch of people and say 'you are expected to be at the lab, pronto'....???
Some things that really tick me off are when people say redundant stuff....'return the book back yaaaaaaa......'....'repeat it again, noo...'.......argh!!
And is it the tamil lingo to extend the last syllable of the word at the end of the sentence??...hey, am a tamilian..and no one ever taught ME to do that!...and the 'no', 'ya'...at the end of every sentence!!....
Or worse....grammar is thrown out the window...there's a topic in that comm that goes something like that....with the addition of 'ed' to the verbs when u want to use the past tense...
'he buyed it...but didnt liked it...so he gived it back...'....(kill me...kill me now...)
Barbarians...there was an incident in my first year that still makes me want to kill that girl...
A conversation where i had to give her the very simple message...'come to the seminar hall for practise at 3 pm'..
ME: U have to be at the seminar hall for the practise at 3 pm today
HER: ok...but do i want to be there?
ME: huh?...how would i know??
HER: ..no tell me...do i want to be there??
ME: look, its none of my business if u want to be there or not..
HER: Aiyo...u not getting me...!!...DO I WANT TO BE THERE???
ME: Sod off...
HER: ...okay..thank you...(and smiles)
ME: !!$*#@&**!!
Many people say this..'he proposed her'...proposed her what?!!..sounds more like he hit her...
Anyway....anything you've heard is annoying enough?..

It's 'practice'.
You have to excuse the people who aren't well off who didn't get the education we got.

oh pish posh....stupid spelling mistake....well..if people aren't comfortable in english then they shouldnt talk in english!
A spelling/grammar error. It means you used a verb instead of a noun. Tough luck.
'Proposed'...uhh, yeah, doesn't that mean proposed marriage unless it's followed by something else?
Have you read Eats, Shoots and Leaves? Hilarious.
oh i love that book...!!...and yeah..i didnt type out the entire doc in word..so....well the hand slips!!
I never found a copy of that book though it was mentioned a lot in the papers when it came out.
huh?..thats odd....go to murugan lending library..u'll even find it there...or be nice to me..and i might consider giving u my copy
i like that "he proposed her" "proposed her what?"
its kind of dirtya and gives me wild imaginations...
Well said.
